Tales of Hope & Courage 5/5 stars This is my second Forces of Destiny book that I have read now and I love this one so much more than the first. It was visually and aesthetically pleasing and the drawing and interactive page flaps were just so gorgeous.I love the feminist tone of the book and some of the stories in this were ones that I've read before in a different book, but here they were told just so beautifully and I totally am gonna have my kids read this one day in the future.ā¢The Leia sto...
Great stories and life lessons for girls young and old, and the illustraitions are lush and beautifulš
My daughter loved it. There were some misspelled words, which bothered me. Cute for Star Wars-loving girls.
I picked this up to read to my girls between reads. This book showcases small adventures in the canon timeline of some of our favorite heroines in Star Wars. We discovered that we had read these stories previously, but this was in a different format. This version of the story was in the format of Maz Katana's journal, making her the narrator. This was similar to the book versions that we had read, but this way seemed more engaging due to the details changing slightly and the illustrations being
3.5 I was hoping this would feature different stories from the Forces of Destiny cartoons. And, while it does give a little background on the characters, this is just another rehash of select cartoon episodes. But I'm giving this a whole extra star because my kid ate it up, despite the old territory.
Of course, Star Wars fans should own this book, an anthology of stories about female heroes in all the Star Wars time frames, from Padme to Jyn Erso to Princess Leia. The stories are thrilling and inspiring, with action, humor, and good triumphing over evil. You know, Star Wars stuff. As the dad of a daughter, these stories really poke me hard in the emotions. My daughter loves them. They're the kind of stories that will be read and reread a jillion times. For the younger young-uns, they're suit...
Cute book with some great short stories about some of our favorite Star Wars characters. I can't wait to share it w my friend's daughter
I don't often track the books I read with Clare on my own Goodreads -- but since I read the entirety of this one aloud in my best Maz Kanata voice, I feel like I deserve some credit.
Book: Star Wars: Tales of Hope and CourageAuthor: Elizabeth Schaefer Rating: 4 Out of 5 StarsIf you are looking for stories about some of the women of Star Wars, then I highly suggest you pick this one up. While it is not a super detailed account, it is a very nice collection of stories. Plus, the illustrations and interactive elements are a nice touch. What I really liked about this was it gave us a look into the lives of women from all the Star Wars eras. I think this is what made the book for...
These are retellings of the animated shorts - one per character, six total: Leia, Sabine, Ahsoka, Padme, Jyn, Rey. Maz is the storyteller so we get a lot of her asides and thoughts on the stories which are delightful. I loved the illustrations, especially the sketchy quality, showing the foundation lines underneath. A nifty callback to the (presumably) hand drawn 2D animation of the shorts. I also feel it encourages readers to draw their own heroes and create their own stories.
